Not really a precision farming thread but mulling over options while spot spraying thistles with a quad mounted sprayer. Generally creating spirals around the field and repeatedly spraying some plants in error! Option two is to put the sprayer on a tractor with second person and walk along...
Several fields of hybrid rye where the crop has only really survived on top of drains. Maybe 20% of field areas actually growing, so no point patching. No spring fert or autumn herbicide at all. What to do?
Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...
This is the first year we are having a field of Maize on our farm to sell the standing crop. The only machine we don’t have is a shakerator (or similar) and I always see maize people shakerate the field before or after ploughing… is this necessary? The field is light and has been in an...
Wanted a piggy back linkage to fit a power harrow to mount a drill on the back in an up and over style.
make isn’t important but must be the complete linkage ideally. Thank you
Looking for a friend, 3m power harrow preferably a kuhn but will consider others. Needs to have a solid packer rather than a coil or bar roller. Thanks.
AMAZONE Ltd will again take the opportunity at Cereals 2024 to showcase kit that reflects the shifting trends in crop establishment. These shifting trends are also supported by government help through the SFI and grants available through the Farming Equipment Technology Fund. The Condor 12001-C...
Looking at using a front mounted seed tank to blow seed to the back of a trailer cultivator (carrier). Has anyone done something like this before? The fact it’s trailed may cause some issues with the pivot point?
Plan on using the same front tank with a combination drill and other stuff so would...
Hello,
You might roll your eyes at me here…!
Two tractors, one with 16.9/34, the other with 16.9/38’s
I’m mucking around with the idea of dual wheels, and never more so than in this weather…
I’ve been doing some measurements…
16.9/38… adding dual wheels will make the tractor over 3m wide...
any one else having trouble getting hold of them and parts

I thought I did on the Sainted Isle but that seems to no longer be the case …
Recently, we tendered and won a block of 70ac on the outskirts of a village and accessed by a lane with houses off. I said to son after we’d walked the land that if we won, there would be trouble…… and yesterday we...
I have an old crawler I want to re spray. Lots of daft bits to do on it. May put the bonnet and other panels out to a professional but want to do the rest my self. Wheres best to get a decent spray gun and what should I be looking for?
With the way things are and no improvement on the horizon ,how long will it be before a huge dealer shuts up shop.they mostly got very large expensive premises and massive stocks of parts and machines but they will be suffering the same as the smaller dealers.seems to be a weekly occurrence of...
Trying to cheer myself up with thoughts of cows grazing a forage crop in the sunshine.
Which varieties are recommended? What is expected DM yield per hectare?
Want to graze from first few weeks of July so was thinking to put in late April/early May. Thinking full cultivation to put in as I...
Just thinking aloud here..
Getting on for spring barley,maybe better off with something else.
Thinking a couple of ton of grain maize off the 10a might be better.
Would be all fed in house to beef.
Can sow it with the combi,
Have small conventional combine header to cut it(if it will do it)...
Bit of a silly question but basically would a 6 cylinder 150 hp tractor use 50% more diesel than a 100 hp 4 cylinder both doing the same work say a 3m power harrow in same conditions. Roughly same age of tractor’s.
